  # London Schools Are Using VR to Treat the Brain. Could Lazy Eye Be Next? Fifteen secondary schools in Sutton, London, have started deploying virtual reality headsets — not for gaming, not for novelty, but as a mental health intervention. In partnership with an NHS mental health trust and VR firm Phase Space, students are using immersive environments to manage exam stress, ADHD symptoms, and anxiety from difficult home situations. This pilot matters beyond its immediate goal. It signals that VR has crossed a threshold: institutions are now treating it as a legitimate therapeutic tool, not experimental tech. ## The brain, not the device What makes VR compelling for mental health is the same thing that makes it compelling for neurological conditions: presence. When you're in a headset, your brain accepts the environment as real enough to respond. Heart rate changes. Stress hormones shift. Neural pathways engage. That same mechanism — the brain treating virtual stimuli as genuine in...

  Amblyotube on Meta Quest Store Saw this piece about 15 London secondary schools using VR headsets (Phase Space) in partnership with an NHS mental health trust to help pupils with exam stress, ADHD, and anxiety. It got me thinking: if VR is becoming accepted as a therapeutic tool for the brain, what about vision conditions that rely on neuroplasticity? Amblyopia (lazy eye) affects about 3% of kids. Traditional treatment is patching the stronger eye, but compliance is poor — kids hate wearing a patch — and it doesn't directly train binocular vision. Patching isolates the weaker eye without teaching both eyes to work as a team. There's a Meta Quest app called **Amblyotube** (developed by Seven Sports) that takes a different approach. It uses **dichoptic vision training**: each eye sees a slightly different visual feed while you watch YouTube-style content. Here’s how it works: - **Dominant Eye Shader**: Applies adjustable blur, contrast, brightness, and opacity to the stronger e...

 Oceanic Features Longer than the Mariana Trench ### 1. Executive Summary Based on the search results, the Mariana Trench is widely recognized as the **deepest** oceanic trench on Earth, but it is not the **longest**. The geological feature that is longer than the Mariana Trench is the **Peru-Chile Trench** (also known as the Atacama Trench). While the Mariana Trench is approximately 2,550 kilometers (1,580 miles) long, the Peru-Chile Trench extends for approximately 5,900 kilometers (3,700 miles). ### 2. Detailed Findings #### 2.1. The Mariana Trench: Baseline Metrics To understand which feature is longer, it is necessary to establish the dimensions of the Mariana Trench: *   **Depth:** It is the deepest oceanic trench on Earth, with the Challenger Deep reaching approximately 10,900 to 11,034 meters (36,000 feet). *   **Length:** The trench measures about **2,550 kilometers (1,580 miles)** in length. *   **Width:** It averages about 69 kilometers (43 ...
